Having learned from his own past mistakes, Helian Ci certainly wouldn't say anything like "fat baby" again.
Setting down the military treatise, Helian Ci lightly coughed, his cool fingers clenched into a fist, and placed it to his crimson lips.
His dark eyes fell on the little girl's chubby little body, and he finally spoke against his conscience.
"Don't listen to your father's nonsense. You're still young. This isn't called being fat; it's called being blessed."
Father is really something, always speaking such profound truths to this little coward. Doesn't he know how much the young lady cares about her image?
"hold head high?"
Helian Si turned around and looked at Helian Ci beside him with a strange expression on his face. He then began to dredge up old grievances without any mercy.
"But my second brother used to say that Sisi was a chubby baby."
Helian Ci: "..."
Actually, you don't need to remember such a small thing for so long.
"But Sisi seems to have really gained a lot of weight."
Sisi lowered her head, pinched her chubby little legs with her chubby little hands, and wrinkled her little nose, looking quite distressed.
"..."
Indeed, the little girl had gained a lot of weight after her trip to Nanrong Jinghua; you could tell just by holding her.
But Helian Ci, determined to be a good elder brother, would never say anything to discourage the young girl.
Besides, the little girl was chubby and even more fragrant and soft to hold than before. His slightly cool fingers gently pinched her cheek, comforting her.
"It's okay, being fair and chubby is even more attractive."
Mou Sisi: "...?"
Thank you, but I wasn't comforted.
"Second brother, if you can't speak, you don't have to."
Sisi pouted, furrowed her brows, and looked intently at Helian Ci, saying something like, "Being chubby and fair-skinned is prettier."
Seriously, this isn't a compliment, okay? Sisi wouldn't be happy to hear this, okay?
A hint of embarrassment crossed Helian Ci's sickly pale face after he was scolded by the little girl, and he pursed his exceptionally red lips.
Okay, I realize that what I just said was a little inappropriate.
Sigh~
Sisi pinched her chubby little legs and then her belly with a roll of fat around it, and sighed.
No, I can't let myself get any fatter!
I'm going to be a cute little girl with a harem of three thousand handsome men in the future, how can I be chubby!
There's a saying that goes, "Fair skin covers a hundred flaws, but being overweight ruins everything." Obesity is absolutely unacceptable!
The little girl clenched her tiny fists, a determined expression appearing on her rosy cheeks as she looked at the silent Helian Ci.
"Second brother, I've made up my mind! Starting today, I'm going to lose weight!"
Being overweight is indeed not good, and it's rare for a young girl to have this awareness. Helian Ci wanted to say something to praise the girl.
But after the little girl finished speaking, she sat down on her little bottom, stretched out her two short legs, and spoke in a soft, sweet voice.
"I'll start losing weight tomorrow, oh, I'm tired, I'm going to lie down for a bit."
Helian Ci: "..."
The words of praise he was about to say stuck in his throat, and his dark eyes fell on the little girl lying in the rocking chair with a lazy kitten.
Helian Ci sighed softly, rubbed his temples with his cool fingertips, and picked up the military book again to read.
Consort Lian, who was sitting under the eaves embroidering on the screen, overheard the conversation between the brother and sister. Her needlework continued, but the smile on her lips grew wider and wider.
As soon as the little princess came back, Ci'er was like a different person, and he started to love going out.
